ABOUT US

Didacious Designs Architects

DD Architects was started by Conrad A B Howard BA(Hons)DipArch RIBA CA IHBC FRSA as a consultancy practice working as a conservation architect, giving advice and services to suit client requirements. He is Accredited with both the RIBA and IHBC as a conservation architect. The practice provides a full or partial service as a design, conservation and Eco Design Architect. We handle all stages of work, from the initial feasibility and consultation outlining the client’s requirements to the finished building. We integrate building design and conservation with an in-depth understanding of listed building, energy conservation and planning matters, thus saving clients separate fees. We utilise up to the minute presentation techniques enabling us to provide top quality presentations. This not only helps our clients understand the concepts but also enables the planning department to fully appreciate the proposed scheme. A winning scheme is as much about the presentation of the idea as the idea itself.

The simple task of ‘building a house’ is actually quite complex. With more and more demands on environmental issues and legislation, a sound knowledge of the whole process is very important.

DD Architects is a signatory of Architects Declare and an advocate for buildings with a low carbon footprint. We are particularly interested in materials of low embodied energy, promoting timber construction, passive environmental control and supporting local skills. If buildings contribute to 40% of total UK greenhouse gas emissions , then we have a big part in doing something about it.

 

We are a HISTORIC BUILDING CONSULTANCY with extensive experience working on historic building refurbishments and buildings in Conservation Areas. DD Architects have access to a diverse range of consultants, including 3D animators, Surveyors, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, Structural Engineers and Contractors.
